This resolution calls on Congress to amend the Smith-Mundt Modernization Act of 2013, which lifted the prohibition against the U.S. government disseminating propaganda to its citizens. The resolution expresses concern that this change has led to negative consequences, including the government adopting biased narratives, positioning itself as the ultimate authority on truth, and employing psychological tactics against the American populace.
The New Hampshire House of Representatives urges federal authorities to reinstate the previous ban on government propaganda to protect the integrity of political discourse and the rights of citizens. The resolution also mandates that copies be sent to key state and federal officials, including the New Hampshire Congressional delegation and the governor, to ensure awareness and consideration of this issue.
